“I guess there was a dispute with my ex-fiancée and her husband and he shot a dog. And there’s been multiple 911 calls of abuse,” the Marines veteran told the police. “And I’m just trying to figure out where my son’s at and what I should do in this situation right now. I’m just so confused right now. … I just want to make sure my son is safe.”

Us previously confirmed that Jace was not at Evans and Eason’s North Carolina home at the time of Nugget’s death. Kaiser and the couple’s 2-year-old daughter, Ensley, meanwhile, “had no idea” what happened, according to Evans.

“Kaiser and Ensley [haven’t] said anything about it since,” Evans told Us earlier this month, noting that she wants “to focus on what’s best for me and my kids.”

“I’m keeping busy and staying focused on my kids and my animals and my business endeavors which have been planned for months,” she told Us on Wednesday, May 8. “I’m working to fix my marriage as well and moving forward.”
